Pseudo Code: Why is it Important?

Pseudo code is basically just step-by-step directions for the making of the actual code. It’s to help make sure the coding process stays on track, and if multiple people are working on the same code, it helps to communicate what needs to be done.

When making pseudo code, it’s important to be concise, but clear and not generalized. It should describe the steps accurately, and be understandable to someone who might not know much about coding; it should add to the efficiency of the team rather than make it more confusing.

Writing pseudo code is just a good habit to form, it helps keeps your mind on track and your coding structured.
